Emery is adorable! This post really hit home because the exact same thing happened to my younger sister. I remember how hurt and jealous I felt, too, and now I am her daughter's godmother and couldn't be happier. Thank you for sharing!

I'm so glad the two of you were able to fight it out and still have a close relationship. The bond between sisters is so special, and I'm glad that you are able to be such an important person in your nephew's life as well.

what a great post! I have a similar story -- the one and only BFP I had was very unexpected and unplanned by my boyfriend (now husband) and I were up to the challenge! At that point I already had been ttc with my ex husband for more than 6 years so it was a very pleasant surprise. I was @5 wks when I got the BFP and 7wks when I had the m/c. About 6 wks later my younger sister was calling to tell me she was 6 wks pregnant. It donned on me that she got pregnant around the time I was having the m/c!I too felt a lot of resentment; she was happily married (I'd been divorced) and here she was getting pregnant within the first year of marriage. It just wasn't fair. I now have the most amazing nephew but the really bad part is, they live in Alaska and I never get to see them. I know I would have had a really hard time seeing her pregnant but I would rather have been there than so far away. My sister is my very best friend and she's my biggest supporter and seems to understand me more than anyone else does when it comes to me ttc. Great post! It just made me realize how much I really do love my little sis!

About Me

My name is "Tishi" and have been married for 2 years. I waited a long time to marry my hubby and was hoping for a honeymoon baby! Things didn't go quite as planned as we are now dealing with MF infertility and Endometriosis. I chose the name of my blog because I work as a birth doula, childbirth educator, and prenatal yoga teacher so I spend my days surrounded by pregnant women. Somedays I sink, but most days I manage to keep my head above water, I love my job and wouldn't trade it for anything. Currently our plan is to try acupuncture for the 6 months after my laparoscopy with chinese herbs, chiro and lots of yoga. My R.E. believes our only hope is IVF with ICSI, but I'm hoping to prove him wrong!
And I did, not only did we prove him wrong, but we kicked him to the curb......1 year after both hubby and I began working with a naturopath we are finally pregnant!! We still needed a little help but we managed to get a BFP with a medicated IUI cycle.
